five cards in this deck helps to untap the best abilities of elfs : wirewood lodge , copperhorn scout , quest for renewal ,wirewood symbiote and rings of brighthearth. those cards can make that cards like immaculate ,joraga ,titania or wellwisher repeat thereselfs like three times per turn easily.

with a simple combination of three cards there is an exelent combo ; wellwisher (or immaculate or another than have a tap ability), ,for example if u have five elfs on battlefield , tap wellwisher , ( +5 lifes) untap it with wirewood lodge and tap (5 lifes) copy that ability with rings of brightheart and you have a total of 15 life in one turn with just a creature with a cost of two mana,otherwise if you have quest for renewal you can use abilities of wellwisher , immaculate or priuest of titania always on the opponents turn. as this u can untap your best elfs to do their abilities with five cards in the deck : quest for renewal , wirewood lodge ,rings of brightheart, copperhorn scout and wirewood symbiote

My elf deck is better I use the Umbra mantle for an infinite loop which works much better than the rings of brighthearth. You can hit them for any amount of trample damage turn 3 or 4 http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=398736
Deck looks great, I don't know if you really need the Steely Resolve, when you have Eladamri, Lord of Leaves. Plus I noticed you have massive mana production in this deck with the Priest of Titania and Gaea's Cradle, If you have lets say five creatures in play and have one of each of the mana producers in play thats 15 mana you have to spend, the only card I see for that much mana would be the Joraga Warcaller, you may want to add some spells with X in it's casting cost or even come bigger creatures/elves. Like Enshrined Memories and a Spellbook or gain a bunch more life then the other player and then Hurricane him down to nothing. Plus, well wisher is a great card in an Elf deck but, I like Nissa Revane a whole lot better has the same ability as the Wellwisher but adds counters to it for more nicer abilities down the line.
you're right nissa revane is a better card , is just i dont know how work planeswalker yet , also youre right about too much mana , but my strategy is use it also in rings of brightheart , if u have 15 mana in one turn and no joraga , u may copy ability as many times as u want so for example wellwisher in game , 15 mana and a ring of brighthearth , copy that ability seven times and u have 28 lifes in one turn (counting as is just four elves in the game) .thats why i think could work great in this deck.

Rings of Brightearth would be a wicked card if you could play it multiple times, if that would be the case the combos for it would be outrageous, infinite damage and creature decks out the ass, plus the price for one of them would jump up to about the price of about 50 bucks a card (heavy demand) but sadly you can only use it's ability once. The reason is the Rings of Brightearth have a triggered ability that gives you two options and only two options: (Pay nothing or pay 2) The option allowing you to pay mana specified a specific amount of mana, so you cannot pay any amount of mana other than 2 for that ability it allows you to pay. If you choose to pay said 2, then you copy the activated ability that triggered the Rings ability and you may choose new targets for the copy. So you could pay 2 for one Wellwish, then if you had another in play you could play another 2 for the other Wellwisher. So, lets say you have one Wellwisher's in play and you had four Elves including Wellwisher you would gain, five life then with Rings another five life when you pay 2 for Rings, so only a total of 10 life per Wellwisher.
i didnt know about that point about copying only once the ability , so , are u sure that i can copy one ability one time per turn?? it cant works like an ability trigger at the same time more than once time rings of brighthearth? if isnt like that , there is a web page where all more specific rules like this appears?
i actually think this is a mediocre elf deck at best. most elf decks now basically overrun you with mass amounts of elves and this doesn't even have a way to produce elf tokens. the mana is outrageous for a deck that doesn't need a whole lot. i dot know, just not impressed.
could be , but i persist there is to play it to prove how good is it , is right that most elf deck are about adding tokens but this obyusly is diferent mana is for rings of brighthearth and joraga , 7 cards of protection for protect them from spells and a lot of untaping cards to repeat abilities , if u see simply the cards is difficult to see the combos , but every card has one in combination with others
plus i dont think there is too much mana , is just to getting sure that in every game u have the right cards , with rings of brighthearth , an adding mana elf and a wirewood symbyote you do marvels
plus ,something i didnt noticed , the mana is usefull too for the wirewood wymbyote , ;return an elf and u have suficient mana to pay it
A pretty impressive deck. If you've got too much mana, maybe try Wren's Run Packmaster or something, but that's about all I can come up with. Since your elf deck is apparently so well-built, would you mind looking over what is my first attempt at an elf deck and letting me know if there's anything I can do to help improve it a little (or a lot). http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=151019 Yeah, it's got a couple Eldrazi, at least until I come up with a more deadly use for all that mana.
thanks for that
I also have built a very nice elf deck that generates mana. You deffinately need something to sink your mana into. I suggest Wrens run or things with X as a mana cost such as Genesis wave. An interesting way to kill your opponents is to gain more life than them then generate a hefty amount of mana and hurricane everyone to death. I have done it many times in my elf deck. Check it out. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=148428
a lot of people said about theres too much mana , i think in some cases they are right , but , i build this deck to be unbeateable , so whatever is in your first hand youre invencible , the opponent has a burn deck? healyourself repeatedly and protect ur cards from direct damage , is a creature deck? get ur elves toughness and power highest than anyone , heal deck? u can get the same gain life amount and attack higher at the same time , thats why i think is a very balanced deck also including the mana that generates , it always be some mana to spend at any time
Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary would be right at home in this deck.
youre right , but u cant have more than 1 legend in game isnt it?
No. You can't have more than 1 copy of each legend on the battlefield. Big difference
GSZ would be great here, allowing you to tutor up combo pieces, as well as allowing you to run Progen as an alt win con. I would probably take out Wellwisher for 3 GSZ and 1 Progen. Since you aren't using mana durring the opponent's turn, Quest for Renewal is wasted here. Try . Steely Resolve is also kinda hurtful, since it stops you from untapping your elves. You also have a few glaring weaknesses; although this deck is good against some, its bascally an auto loss against others. The three big ones are combo decks, such as TES and Spiral Tide (http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=154920), Counterballance decks such as This one: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=153897, and Dredge. You should definitely build a sideboard to protect you from such decks. TES
whats the completely name of the card progen , and gsz to search them
Progenesis and Green Sun's Zenith. Progenesis is arguably the best creature in the game. A 10/10 with "protection from everything" ends the game rather fast. A lot of top tier legacy decks combo into Natural Order, Green Sun's Zenith, ect to fetch Progenesis for the win. With a Green Sun's Zenith, if you generate 11 mana you can fetch him from your deck and drop him on the table. Pretty sweet. Green Sun's Zenith also allows you to grab any creature in your deck, and shuffles back in after you use it.
Also, a great card to run with GSZ is Dryad Arbor. Its both a land and a creature, that is green and has a CMC of 0, so you can get another land for 1 with GSZ
Not bad... Reminds me of my old Elf deck, that I played in 1999 as my 1st deck ever :) ... I've played Timberwatch Elf back than, 'cuz there wasn't Magistrate yet... Headless one as well... I've made a standard elf deck, when Zendikar were standard... That elf was like unbeatable on standard & could beat my competative extended & modern decks... I've played Lead the Stampede in that... Check that card, it's the best for an Elf deck!.. It makes U able to recover fast after a mass removal spell... The same goes to Nissa & her Chosen... :) If U R interested in standard decks, please check out my Selesnya populate: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=391183 I will remember the list of my elf decks as well & post them here later... :)
Ok i dont know how no one mentioned this but the untap part of your deck clashes with your protection part. The Lodges and Symbiotes are very pointless in this deck because you have 6 cards that prevent your elves from being targeted. That includes your own spells and abilities this isnt hexproof. Im not sure if that applies to the Rings as well since that is being activated by targeting an ability but since the word target is in there and they are creature abilities I would tend to think that they did. I would drop the Steely Resolves and Lord of Leaves because the untap part is a bigger part of this deck
Crap, someone beat me to it Steely resolve = no untapping elves
So how did this become so popular with a major oversight like that in it? Front page? Grrr... Makes me jealous for my elf decks. They are far more powerful imo, but I still wouldn't claim they are the "best".
About 20% of the front page decks should actually be there at any given time
I Think this deck is good but seems to be a little slow for an elf deck. It's still great but I'm a person how loves pump spells. and with the Eladamri and the steely Resolve. It would hurt you too. This is my Elf Deck http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=389455 if you want to take a look at it. Your deck is designed around more of a multplayer game and for the long hall; where as mine is desgined to win within 4-5 turns in a single player game. Ares just differ in what you want to do. Still a great deck though. Wraith of God still destroys us both lol :D

um hate to break it but its a pretty normal elf deck. easier to pull infinite mana combo- use Umbral Mantle on preist, then if you have just 3 other elves in play you have infinite mana and a infinitly strong creature. you can use this to swing with taunting elf for massive damage, or you can use Mercy killing for infinite elves. great elf cards to look at- -imperious perfect -heedless one -elvish promenade and if you run a mass creature combo you can overrun or epic struggle WC. You probablly are going to run out of steam with no draw power and lots of mana, so i suggest Slate of Ancestry. you can check out a revised version of one of me elf decks. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=320860
Old elves have everything. Not as much as slivers though. Nice elf deck. I think you will like my warrior deck. It hurts allot: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=377478
Try Tezz gambit if your gonna put nissa reveane in and then you need nissa chosen Check out my newest decks if you have a moment thanks
I've been running elves for quite a long time, a combination that I find works wonderfully is using wirewood channeler to generate mana, then use staff of domination to untap and tap wirewood channeler to generate infinite mana of any colors you want. You can also use it to draw as many cards as you want, tap as many creatures as you want, and by throwing in wellwisher, you can gain as much life as you want. Try it out, works great.
Not even close to best elf deck.. Deck is really slow..You have no way of drawing or picking cards,not even lands,which means all you can do is 1 land a turn(if drawn) and then you can summon like 4-5 elves by round 3-4.My point is,even if you had mana(through untapping) to summon as many elves as you want ,best you can do is summon your whole hand.And assuming you only draw 2 lands for PoT,that leaves 6 creatures tops for turn 3.You cant use JW and summon all of them so your most powerful scenario is IM in those 6 creatures,which means 1x7/7 elf in turn 3 and 5x1/1 or so..That's no even 20 life.So your elf deck's most RARE/best potential scenario is a victory at round 4.Of course if the enemy has even 1 creature down by round 3 you cant deal damage to life with that 7/7 elf,which means ..well you lost already.. Plus you seem to be focusing an awful lot on spell counter and you say best elf deck.Maybe call it best anti-counter elf deck.Cause if you try to beat a random deck with this one you'll have 6 useless cards and that does not make for a best deck.Believe me you can add a lot of cards to improve deck all around,you're not exactly free to focus on its weaknesses.Try adding those cards to sideboard and see you can make the core better. If you want to talk about BESt elf deck check this one out:http://www.mtgvault.com/EditDeck.aspx?DeckID=396243&DeckCardID=9549297 Talking of best/rarest scenario,this one can summon 27 elves with 10/10 trample on round 2.If not round 2,then certainly by round 5.So we're looking at 27 10/10 trample elves vs 1 7/7 and 5 1/1,at round 5.I think anyone can see which elf deck is better.
Look up a card called Argothian Elder, then combine that with a couple Wirewood Lodges and a Priest of Titania (or Elvish Archdruid). It's a scary, scary thing. For good measure you could also throw in a few elvish Guidance.
Pretty cool. I wonder who would win, your elves or mine? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=361567
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=399811 neither my vamp could take both 2 on 1 easy.
sweet elf deck mind checking out mine http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=353628
OMG with Steely Resolve you cant even use your own creature abilities to target creatures you control....This deck is far from even being a good deck and way too far from being the best elf deck....No drawing and no searching and so many people say that its good..and why do you need to get life???seriously people?!
I don't have an Elf deck, I used to have one but broke it. But when I play against Magic friends when they are using an Elf deck. I just put two Engineer Plague in my deck. I honestly think Elf decks aren't that amazing. IMO they aren't that good of decks.
